Do you remember Black Monday? If not, it was the biggest economic disaster before the 2008 market drop, and it was 30 years ago. Steve chatted about the historic single day drop of 23% with Heather Long (Correspondent at The Washington Post) and if there could be another crash on the horizon.

Riaz details his stance in his new book, “Law Mart: Justice, Access, and For-Profit Law Schools“.
